The Jwaneng diamond mine is the Erichest diamond mine in the world and is located in south-central Botswana about 120 kilometres (75 mi) west of the city of Gaborone, in the Naledi river valley of the Kalahari. Jwaneng, meaning “a place of small stones”, is owned by Debswana, a partnership between the De Beers company and the government of Botswana. It is the second newest of four mines operated by the company, having begun operations in 1982. Jwaneng is an open pit mine. The mine produces 9.3 million tons per year of ore and an additional 37 million tons per year of waste rock. The mine is located on three kimberlite pipes that converge near the surface, covering 520,000 square metres at ground level. Currently, the mine produces approximately 11 million carats (2,200 kg) of diamonds. 1 The recoverable ore grade at the mine is about 1.25 carats per ton (250 mg/t). As of 2005, known reserves will allow production at current levels to continue for 27 years. The high rate of diamond extraction, combined with high quality diamonds fetching excellent per weight prices, make the Jwaneng diamond mine the richest diamond mine in the world by value of recovered diamonds. The Jwaneng mining lease includes the Jwana Game Park, which includes a field unit of Cheetah Conservation Botswana. The game park is also host to the globally threatened lappet-faced vulture. Departure from all hotels 0615 hours Your Kalahari bivouac starts at 6am early morning This is a leisurely drive (remember, no rush in Africa), we do however have to make it for the safety and security orientation at 0800 hours.

Jwana park 3 Jwana park EXCURSION 2 BOTSWANA MEAT COMMISSION AND LOBATSE TOUR This will be a five part excursion comprising; 1. Visit to Feedlot facilities for the Lobatse BMC Abattoir 2. Visit to the BMC Plant 3. Footsteps to Liberation 4. Visit to Old Legislative Council 5. Culture Day A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF LOBATSE ABATTOIR AND FEEDLOTS The Botswana Meat Commission (BMC) was established by the newly independent Botswana government in 1965 to be solely responsible for the slaughter and marketing of all beef exports from Botswana. 4 Facilities and subsidiaries The BMC is headquartered in Lobatse about 70km south of Gaborone. Its facilities consist of an integrated complex which includes an abattoir, canning, Botswana Beef tanning and by-products plants. The BMC also operates two branch abattoirs, one in Maun and the other in Francistown. In addition the company owns cold storage facilities in South Africa. Operations The BMC co-ordinates the production of beef from a national herd grazing on predominantly communal ranch lands which cover a large portion of the country. The company is closely monitored by the Botswana Veterinary Services for quality control. All stages of its production are certified to the ISO 9002 quality system. Chilled vacuum-packed beef cuts have a shelf-life of six months provided that the cold chain is maintained at a constant, specified minimum temperature. BMC also produces frozen boneless beef for manufacturing purposes with a two-year shelf-life as well as corned beef and other canned beef products for export. YOUR ITINERARY 0700 – 0815 hours Your morning starts at 0800 hours from hotels. The drive to Lobatse will take approximately one hour with a leisurely drive past some of famed tribes in South Eastern Botswana. The villages of Ramotswa and surrounding villages of Otse, Taung and Mogobane, are home to Balete Tribe under the leadership of Kgosi Mosadi Seboko . 5 The drive offers a picturesque view of the hilly surroundings including the hilly outcrops of the Famous Lentswe la Baratani in Otse. Legend has it that a long time ago, two lovers eloped and went up the hill never to be seen again. Ever since, the hill has been held in awe and reverence. 0815 – 0930 The BMC visits commences with a tour of feedlots where cattle from communal areas are finished before slaughter. This is to ensure that they attain optimal live and carcass weight in order to attract better market quality and prices at slaughter. 0930 – 1045 From the feedlots, the tour moves to the BMC Abattoir. Here the world class operations of BMC will be revealed through the various processes of preparing cattle for slaughter and the market. Selected operations will be showcased to showcase some of the BMC facilities. THE ROAD TO LIBERATION 1050 – 1200 hours Lobatse is largely known for hosting great people, among them refugees, freedom fighters and the Queen of England Elizabeth II. Though freedom fighters were considered terrorists and fugitives by the then governments, however their people considered them as freedom fighters and heroes who brought hope of self-governance. Tswana families hosted these liberation stalwarts including Samora Machel and Nelson Mandela, compelled by the Tswana tradition of hosting fellows with open hands, little did they know that they are entertaining great statesmen. Today a museum honouring the late Samora Machel is being constructed on the plot formerly owned by the Kgaboesele family who used to provide their house for occupation by liberation heroes. A ground breaking ceremony in October 2017 took place for the construction of a monument in honour of the late Fish Keitseng for his role and service to the Liberation struggle. This visit takes you through the history of one of Southern Africa’s trying times and the role played by Botswana and the men and women who stood at the forefront of the Liberation struggle. 6 CULTURE DAY 1200 – 1600 hours Tasha’s Gardens in the Bamaletse tribal Territory will host the culture day. As Botswana, our culture is our pride. On the way back, a stop-over at the culture day will provide a perfect opportunity to enjoy Botswana’s cultural heritage. With performances from renowned Botswana Traditional Artists and fashion designers, this will be an experience of a lifetime. Traditional cuisine including our famous Seswaa or pounded beef, will all be available for your culinary indulgence. Do bring along with you, your best traditional attire and stand a chance to win a prize for best dressed region during the cultural day. In the evening, a drive back into the city with magnificent views of the sunset along the way, will leave you fulfilled and refreshed for the week ahead.

  • A Heritage and Cultural Tourism Destination
    MAKING GABORONE A STOP AND NOT A STOP-OVER: A HERITAGE AND CULTURAL TOURISM DESTINATION by Jane Thato Dewah (Student No: 12339556) A Dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MAGISTER HEREDITATIS CULTURAEQUE SCIENTIAE (HERITAGE AND CULTURAL STUDIES) (TOURISM) In the Department of Historical and Heritage Studies at the Faculty of Humanities University of Pretoria SUPERVISOR: Prof. K.L Harris December 2014 DECLARATION OF AUTHENTICITY I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and has not been submitted previously at any other university for a degree. ............................................... Signature Jane Thato Dewah ................................................ Date ii Abstract The main objective of the study was to identify cultural heritage sites in and around Gaborone which could serve as tourist attractions. Gaborone, the capital city of Botswana, has been neglected in terms of tourism, although it has all the facilities needed to cater for this market. Very little information with regards to tourist attractions around Gaborone is available and therefore this study set out to identify relevant sites and discussed their history, relevance and potential for tourism. It also considers ways in which these sites can be developed in order to attract tourists. Due to its exclusive concentration on wildlife and the wilderness, tourism in Botswana tends to benefit only a few. Moreover, it is mainly concentrated in the north western region of the country, leaving out other parts of the country in terms of the tourism industry. To achieve the main objective of the study, which is to identify sites around the capital city Gaborone and to evaluate if indeed the sites have got the potential to become tourist attractions, three models have been used.

However, these rights are not enjoyed equally by all. Areas of concern include violence against women and children; discrimination against indigenous peoples; child labour; over reliance on and abuses by the mining sector; respect for diversity and culture; effectiveness of social protection programmes; and access to quality healthcare services. It is recommended that government develop a comprehensive national action plan on human rights that applies to both state and business. 2 Separation of Powers Political and personal interests have made separation between Botswana’s three arms of government difficult.
